The Dean’s Office in the J. Mack Robinson College of Business is hiring several Peer Mentors/Teaching Assistants for the Fall 2024 semester. We are looking for RCB seniors to join our RCB Freshman Success Team. As part of this team, your paid assignment for Fall 2023 will be to teach two (2) 1-hour sections of the RCB’s version of the University's freshman orientation course (GSU 1010). Teaching this course is a great opportunity to help our freshman students; you can have a really big impact on these future leaders as they start their RCB journey.
We will provide you with all of the teaching materials; you will not need to develop any of your own content. We will also hold training and team sessions on teaching this course. Course section size is expected to be 25 students.
